Rotary Switches

A rotary switch is a device which allows for the transfer of electricity from one device to another, often through a series of multiple sections. This particular type of switch has been in use in the electrical world for a significantly long time and generally provides a much more convenient and secure form of controlling power. The type of rotary switch being discussed in this article, the 50KP36-01-2-03N, is a more specific type, with regards to its application field and working principle.

Application Field

The 50KP36-01-2-03N rotary switch is an 18-position, soldered, and sealed rotary switch. It can be used in a variety of different scenarios, such as industrial machine and equipment control, computer and audio applications, in aviation and ground navigation systems, and in various other environments that may need to control electrical currents. It is generally used to switch from one circuit to another, and consists of two sections, the indexing contact and the common contact. The size makes it particularly attractive for use in confined spaces.

Working Principle

The working principle of the 50KP36-01-2-03N is relatively straightforward, and it operates by a cam plate which drives a rotary contact. As the switch is turned, spring-loaded copper contacts inside the switch will connect with the various positions at which it is set. This provides a secure and reliable way of controlling electrical currents and is suitable for environments which require a consistent flow of electricity.

The 50KP36-01-2-03N is also known for its durability, with it being able to tackle the toughest of rugged environments and continuous service. It also features a significantly high contact resistance, with it maintaining itself consistently regardless of temperature, pressure, and vibration.

Security and Safety

One of the major advantages to the 50KP36-01-2-03N switch is its ability to effectively handlesecure and safe electrical connections. This particular switch has been designed to meet stringent safety regulations, thanks to its interlock protection mechanism, over-travel protection, and other features which ensure a reliable and secure electrical connection. This makes the switch ideal for use in a high-security environment, such as in industrial, aviation, and navigation equipment.

The 50KP36-01-2-03N switch is also known for being able to effectively handle power connections and loads, being able to easily support up to 110kV, 25A of power. It is also highly resistant to water and dust ingress, making it suitable for use in wet, humid, and dusty areas. It is also highly resistant to shock and vibration, making it well-suited to conditions where there is likely to be mechanical wear and tear.

Conclusion

The 50KP36-01-2-03N is an ideal rotary switch for a variety of applications, from industrial and computer equipment to aviation and navigation systems. Its design ensures a secure and reliable electrical connection and is able to withstand the toughest of environments. Its interlock protection mechanism and over-travel protection system also make the switch suitable for usage in high-security areas. Its ability to support up to 110kV and 25A of power also makes it one of the most robust and reliable switches available on the market today.
